Mathcad 2016 For Mac
PTC's product line has historically worked on Windows, UNIX, and Linux-based platforms.See for the latest information about platform support. Mathsoft stopped supporting the Mac after Mathcad PLUS 6.0 for Power Macintosh, as introduced in 1996 and superseded in 1997 by Mathcad 7 Professional (for Windows 95 only).
I believe that the reason was, Mathsoft simply could not afford to maintain two (Win and Mac) product development teams. My personal opinion is that PTC will not develop a Mac version of Mathcad Prime because of the high cost of hiring, managing, and maintaining a Mathcad-for-Mac application development team in addition to the Windows application development team.
And since it is clearly a PTC goal to keep Mathcad integrated with the rest of PTC's product line, there would have to be Mac OS X versions of every other PTC product, too. IMHO, that is not likely to ever happen. I'd love for PTC to tell us I'm wrong. But I won't think less of them if they don't. I have converted to Max OS X since December 2010 and I have been looking for information about similar programs for Mac. I haven't found anything like Mathcad that works an a Mac yet. There is Maple and Mathmatica, but these programs differ from Mathcad in an essential way, especially when it comes to units and using symbols.
If so, I would have made the change right away. Now I am like you still using Windows for some apps that are not available for Mac. Though I have no idea if it will ever come, I am still hoping Mathcad Prime eventually will be ported to Mac. Programming languages are developing fast and porting to different platforms should be easier in the near future, if not today. Marketing is one of the barriers and I think support to. Multiple platforms require more support effort.
For now I have to deal with Windows, but I hope there will be a future without the need of Windows on a Mac. I think it probably will come for Prime in some way. I listed to a UK webinar on the Prime developments yesterday, and it included the road map for Prime 2 & 3 and its integration with Pro/e CREO. Assuming that they have a method for managing the core codebase that is OS agnostic, then it should be easy for a Mac OSX version to be created when all those other foibles are sorted.
See the CREO integration at bottom right of the roadmap. But do remember it is just a plan. And plans never survive contact with the enemy customers;-). Mathmatica and Maple may be much more sophisticated when it comes to programming, (differential) analysis and complex problem solving. But the way I use Mathcad (as an Engineer) is not that easy with Mathmatica and Maple. I am always willing to change my way I work, but there are to many downsides with the units an presentation of results (document). When I use Mathcad, I can start a worksheet which ends as a document for third parties.
I don't have to plan what I am trying to accomplish. I just start typing text and formulas like I am using a word processor. That is what I like very very much about Mathcad.

It has downsides to, but for me it is an ideal companion. So Mathcad for OS X would be the far best solution for me.
The second best is using Windows on my Mac with Mathcad installed. As long as that works reasonably well and Maple or Mathmatica stays the same I probably will not switch to Maple or Mathmatica. But to be honest, if the use of Maple or Mathmatica would be closer to Mathcad, I would have switched three months ago.
I've dug-out my iMac PPC G3, OS 9.1 for which I've downloaded Mathcad-6 written for the 'Classic Mac'. I used the Stuffit that came with the OS to unZip it and to Expand the.sit files. Now I have a bunch of Disk Image file, one of which is called 'Installer'. I see no '.dmg' anywhere and find no 'Applications' folder.
I've removed all Internet, Microsoft, Polaroid, etc. Apps and 5 of the 6 GB on the HD are clean. The system seems to work as it should. What do I do with those disk image files? I'm not very computer savy in spite of having known the Univac 1218 down to the last NOR gate. On the Desktop I have 'Mathcad Plus 6 folder' which contains a folder 'Mathcad Plus' which contains 8 logos depicting a blank sheet with the upper right-hand corner folded over.

Labels beneath them read (exactly): Install 680x0 Disk1.image Mathcad PLUS Disk1.image The remaining 6 other are like the last except the number advances thru 7. The OS 9.1 does have an Applications Folder, a Disk Copy utility which does claim to mount disk images, and a Software Installer which doesn't seem to be something can invoke. Thanks again. Thanks for the additional information. You should be able to double-click the file named Install 680x0 Disk 1.image and it should mount. In it should be the installer.
The files with numbers 1-7 are simply parts of the installer, which it will read/mount automatically. It has to do with the size limitation of disk images in OS 9.
If my memory serves, they should have the old disk image icon instead of what looks like a piece of paper with the upper right corner folded. It looked like a square or diamond with a bluish-purple disk icon in it. The files you have may be for OS X, not OS 9. Where did you download them from? Admittedly, my interest in it is pretty frivolous. I'm a retired EE and I did a lot of math. For what I couldn't do by hand, I wrote small, dedicate FORTRAN programs.
Its built-in exponentiation for complex variables, and indexed DO loops made it very handy and easy even for stuff like Fourier analysis. But I never had any subroutines for good presentation of the output.
(I sometimes used fixed-point output files so I could quickly eyeball them to make a mental graph.) I had a desk VAX terminal but no computer. I want to save the iMac Power PC because I admired the Motorola RISC processor, and because it has a CRT but isn't so big. It, with Mathcad, was really something back then.about $1000 for the computer and $1000 for the Mathcad. And I never got to try the latter. Thanks, Bill K.UPDATE. I had some time this morning, so I setup an old Power Mac 8600 running Mac OS 9.1.
Issue with smart notebook 17.1 for mac. You'll find a wealth of troubleshooting articles that we update as issues arise and are resolved. SMART Notebook 17; SMART Learning Suite 17.1. Jan 9, 2018 - Hi everybody. I'm using the latest SMART Notebook 17.1.1020.0 software for Mac (macOS X 10.13.2, MacBook Pro 15-inch, Late 2016, 2,6.
I burned the downloaded image files on a CD and copied them to the 8600's hard drive. I fooled around a little with it and found this to work to get it installed: 1.
Copy the disk images 1-7 to the Mac's HD. Select them all and double-click to mount them using Disk Copy.
When all 7 are mounted, double-click Mathcad PLUS Disk 1 to open it's Finder window. Double-click Install and follow the prompts. You don't need to mount and try installing the image labeled Install 680x0 Disk 1.image.
It is an installer for Apple's Shared Library Manager, which your install of OS 9.1 should have a newer version already. That should get you up and running.
